If you could cast you local election vote again. Would it be Green?

definition of a true BRIGHTONIAN
one who was born and bred in Brighton
one who has maybe lived away(work commitments,financial,family) and maybe in several places
one who has and always will love the place, but maybe cannot afford to live there any longer
one who still might take an interest in the city even though no longer there
one who (and I suppose this should be optional) who is Brighton and Hove Albion until they die

Possibly. Who would you say the most famous Brightonian is?

They can actually be both you know - i.e. BHA fans AND communist pseudo-hippy student politicians from London, using Brighton as their testing ground.

True, knock out the hippy bit and you're describing me.

David Van Day or Simon Fanshawe.

David Van Day or Simon Fanshawe.

were either born in Brighton ?

Van Day was . Fanshawe cracks on he was.

I'd say my old boss Rod Aldridge.

If Ralph Brown had been born in Brighton it would be him.

maybe so but I am sure Van Day lives up country and Simon if not should have been

I'm worried now ! I don't necessarily agree with your point exactly but in a broad sense I do. The attitude of the Green party towards the allotment and council tax increases was "tough, we know best" - they weren't open to debate about it at all. They predicted huge cuts in frontline services if the increases didn't go through - strangely they now have a budget surplus. Clearly it was lies and hot air designed to make people support the increases.

There's a massive uproar about the increases in parking charges and rolling them out to places like Preston Park ( where any slightly intelligent person could have told you to solve the problem you could just introduce a free 4 hour parking limit ).

The Green party don't listen to the people and hopefully they'll be on the end of one hell of a thrashing at the next elections.

But to police this new 4 hour limit properly funds must be put in place for wardens- hence the residential parking schemes. As you would know if you were "slightly more intelligent."

probably go for Max Miller
and the most typical Ray Brooks

but the question is was he born in Brighton
if he was then he is not a typical Brightonian.............he is as they say a dickhead

 

[queens park pete]

Is that when Kitcats trophy wife, describes Brightonians as inbreds?

I's rather be an inbred Brightonian than not at all.

A trophy wife with a Phd?

She was probably sick to deaf of racist sniping about being foreign. And if you watch the webcast closely, it is an intelligent, good humoured jibe towards a particularly slow brained Tory councillor who seemed obsessed with the birthplace of people, as if being born at the Sussex was more important than not being an idiot.

I think he was born in Brighton. Same place as me.

Thanks for that clip. She is one hot lady, even hotter when she looks annoyed.

What, under a rock?

Brighton Rock through and through son.

But would the Conservative's have done better? That's the real question here isn't it.

What about the Prince Regent himself? He surely personifies the Brighton spirit?
